"Unveiling the Dark History of Typhoid: From Typhoid Mary to Epidemics and Medical Breakthroughs" Typhoid, a deadly infectious disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi, has left an indelible mark on history. One infamous figure associated with this ailment is "Typhoid Mary, " a cook who unknowingly spread the disease to numerous people in early 20th century New York City. The Yadil Advertisement reminds us of the importance of public health campaigns in preventing such outbreaks. Even royalty was not immune to its grasp, as seen in the tragic case of Mercedes de Orleans, Queen of Spain and first wife of King Alfonso XII. Her untimely death from typhoid at just 18 years old shocked the nation. In the medical world, Sir William Gull and Sir William Jenner played significant roles in understanding and treating typhoid fever. Their portraits stand as testaments to their contributions towards combating this deadly illness. The discovery of vaccines brought hope for prevention, exemplified by Dr. Schreiber's inoculation efforts captured in John Vachon's photograph from San Augustine County, Texas in 1943. However, behind every triumph lies hidden stories like "A Skeleton in the Cupboard. " This engraving symbolizes society's reluctance to confront diseases like typhoid head-on until they become unavoidable crises. One such crisis struck after a devastating typhoid epidemic hit Lincoln post-1905. The aftermath prompted renewed efforts to address sanitation issues and improve public health measures. Punch cartoon portrays Sir William Withey Gull as he treated Prince Albert Edward (later King Edward VII) for typhoid while serving as Physician-in-Ordinary to Queen Victoria—an illustration highlighting both his expertise and royal connections during times of crisis. Dr. Mildred C. Rebstock graced ILN cover—a testament to women breaking barriers within the medical field, including their contributions to typhoid research and treatment.
